Anyone here in the Northern climate have success with Winter Hay Stockpiling
https://youtu.be/xJMhAwYnFwI Grass for winter rotation Grazing?
I am in WI on 20 acers with 5 cows plus their offspring. I have 15 in rotation grazing for the warm months but have a deep desire to push grazing to Jan 15 ot Feb 1 or longer is possible.
This Video is what I have for reference

The issue here in this vid is I don't have any large of even small equipment for that matter. I run my Farmstead here 100% No till without so much as a utility tractor. I'm 44 and I roll by hand all winter 800 to 1000 pound bales by hand to the cows and other livestock. This is why I want to extend Grazing weeks into the winter months.
My question is how can I deal with late Dec Jan heavy snow without creating them waves of hay with equipment? Will my cows adapt and simply dig?
Some help from anyone who has had success in the North. Yes I mean in the North because we deal with -40 and 5 foot of snow.
